I need to keep records of all my client communication, and so far the only thing that isn't recorded automatically is SMS's. Is there a way to set up an integration that when a client sends me an SMS it is automatically recorded in their file? It would be great if it could also track the whole conversation (ie my replies as well), but at the moment I'm happy to settle with what I can get!!! (PS I'm in New Zealand and our phone systems are somehow different)

    Hi @Nicki Kane !

    Right now we don't have a feature that does that, but I've made sure to send your suggestion to our team so they can consider it for future developments. We appreciate your input!

    In the meantime, I would explore the possibilities from our Marketplace:

    • use an external integration platform to make the platform that you use to send/receive SMS from talk to Pipedrive - here;
    • or explore the integrations we have that do the sending and receiving of SMS and can integrate with Pipedrive - here.

    Hope that helps! 🙌

    Thanks @Inês Batata , great suggestions! Nothing quite right there yet but I'll keep fingers crossed something comes up native to pipedrive- I have NO idea why our phone systems cause so much problem with this sort of thing!

    'Justcall' will be the best option for you. It does have a smooth integration with PD

    Unfortunately not with the NZ messaging system, I've looked into them a while ago and unfortunately they can't help at the moment :-(

    Since I don't want to change my phone number I've been using an app called Cloze which tracks sms - it's very slow and it causes a lot of duplicate contacts but they've pulled it off by having a separate app that uploads your text messages in real time to their servers.  

    It's silly to have one number for calls and one for texts and then you switch jobs or switch providers and lose all your data.  

    Also you may want to consider doing a deal with Mightytext - I use them to text from my computer.  Seems like these would be pretty easy since others are doing it.
